Song Upon The Wind

What is that haunting song upon the wind?

I, like an Ithaca bound mariner

Strain against the mast and bonds

To catch but a single hint

 

Voice musical upon my ear

Churning desire

Like the foam-sprayed sea itself

As her melody I chance to hear

 

Siren song enchanting

My soul, it does devour

To hear her very utterance

Makes ecstasy of my hours

 

Padre
